Coulrophobia

@chai2,

Alright, I think you're upset about something other than philosophy, but please don't take out your anger on me, sir.
I was giving an opinion on a topic. Philosophy only means "the love of thought" so those were my thoughts on the subject. I personally don't care for the subject. I was trying to placate to a request, and I feel that you are being inconsiderate to my attempt at being nice.

Never my intention to offend, only to discuss as this is a forum.

I get the heebee jeebees and chills. It is like a bad dream as you look just like my doll.

I remember once when I was about 5 or 6 years old.
I became ill for a couple of days from eating some sausages
that were semi-circular (almost) in shape; curved.

There was some writing in a curved shape in my environment
whose curvature approximated that of the offensive sausages.

After I recovered my good health, it nauseated me to see that curved writing.

@A Lyn Fei,

I'm not upset, I'm not angry, and I'm not a sir.
Also, you don't offend.

You don't need to placate me, and answer on a thread you don't want to.

methinks you put a little bit too much thought into your response.

Ah, I apologize for the sir comment. Not sure why I put that. Anyhow, thinking is what I do. But I will leave it there. Thank you for the civil response.

So, who else's opinion or thoughts would one give, if not your own? <scratches head>

@chai2,

Once in a while we are scarily alike, Chai. Another ditto to one of your posts on this thread.

Ah, this is very strange. Chai was being very funny in a rather clever way. . Good grief, we do have to laugh, too. It takes talent to say something that makes people laugh, and she was right on cue. There's lots of intelligent humor on these threads. At times I call to my husband to read a post where the humor is intelligently clever (or cleverly intelligent). I think the last time I did that was the thread about the words "ilk & unquent." Too funny, as were the two short poems by the philosophers, that followed.

I went to one of the original Howdy Doody shows, that being somehow related to rko pathe where my father worked that year. Clarabelle just seemed stupid (I was judgemental even then, yes.) I was, in my way, saying eh!, though I probably clapped along. I'd have much rather gone to Macy's to look all around; yes, the toy department, but the whole place. Even at nine I like walking the sidewalks of new york.

I think it was Butrfly that mentioned her favorite comedians, and they are, to a man, my unfavorites. (Well, viva la difference, and it's interesting how people differ). I admit to some liking of the three stooges, as in once.

How is "eh!" defined ?
I 've never used that word, but
I think it'd strain the mouth to pronounce that h.
